What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€462/m²) for 195 m², the estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost raises the effective cost to roughly €1,562/m², well above the €362/m² local baseline. The baseline is weak, and the rural property’s legal usability and renovation scope require verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric Alpine farmhouse with beautiful stacked-stone walls, aged timber, slate roofing, and a peaceful mountain setting. However, the property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with damaged roof sections and largely unfinished or storage-like interiors, so it is a characterful restoration project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€77,000 – €114,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Substantial renovation is clearly required, including roof repairs and likely structural work.
- Several interiors are dark, cluttered storage areas rather than finished living space.
- No kitchen or bathroom is clearly shown, and utilities and year-round access are unconfirmed.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 74/100The area sits in the side valleys below the Graian Alps, with high relief close by and the entrance to the Val di Rhêmes leading toward the Gran Paradiso massif. The Dora Baltea valley is the main river corridor nearby. Gran Paradiso National Park begins farther up the Rhêmes valley, with alpine terrain and wildlife areas within the local mountain system though not at the village itself. The nearest ski area is around Rhemes-Notre-Dame and the small local lifts farther up the valley, with larger Aosta Valley domains reached by road in under an hour depending on destination. Aosta is the nearest town of size, with the full range of services and major Roman monuments including the Arch of Augustus, city walls and theatre. This part of Valle d'Aosta is known for alpine valleys, pasture landscapes and access to mountaineering and hiking terrain.
